A
calliope is a
musical instrument. It is played with a
keyboard, and sends
steam though whistles to make sound.
In
Greek mythology,
Calliope ("beautiful voice") was the
muse for epic poetry. She had two sons,
Orpheus and
Linus with
Apollo. She was the oldest and wisest of the Muses. She was the judge in the argument over
Adonis between
Aphrodite and
Persephone. She was represented by a stylus and wax tablets.
